[26WashIntlLJ137] A Review of Who Rules Japan?: Popular Participation in the Japanese Legal Process

Abstract:

Daniel H. Foote is Professor of Law at The University of Tokyo and Senior Advisor with the Asian Law Center at the University of Washington School of Law.
Who Rules Japan? is a valuable addition to the literature on Japanese law. Seven substantive chapters explore important recent developments in a wide range of fields. The ten authors—including leading experts in criminal justice, labor law and other fields—all are highly qualified and all have undertaken extensive research. Each of the chapters breaks new ground; and collectively they provide a wealth of new information, new methodological approaches, and new theoretical insights.
